Heck of a team win. Covey's last appearance?
Everyone except Covey pitches well. A needed win -- not enough to restore confidence, but the losing streak ends.
Ok letās get a winning streak going
I have no clue why you send Covey out there in a close game. Good to finally get a win and avoid last place.
He was obviously still scripted to pitch in the bullpen game regardless of situation, and was the only available guy who could go more than one. The problem is you can't let him! (Last team, even one was too much.)
True to form, Covey, the only pitcher who didnāt pitch well, gets the win. He also gets a blown save.
